Product description

Sony SEL16F28 16mm f/2. 8 Wide-Angle Lens for NEX Series Cameras Landscapes, architecture, snapshots . this 24 mm equivalent (35mm full frame format) E-mount prime lens can cover them all. Compact and extremely lightweight, this lens will always be ready for action without being a burden to carry. While a refined aluminum alloy exterior gives the lens a sophisticated feel, a motor on the inside delivers smooth, quiet autofocus and aperture operation that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result. Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements are an evolved variant, featuring an extremely high thickness ratio between the center and periphery. AA elements are exceedingly difficult to produce, relying on the most advanced molding technology to consistently and precisely achieve the required shape and surface accuracy, resulting in significantly improved image accuracy and quality. The distance encoder plays an integral part in ADI flash metering, which delivers high precision flash metering that is unaffected by the reflectance of subjects or backgrounds. The distance encoder is a lens component that directly detects the position of the focusing mechanism, and sends a signal to the CPU in order to measure distance to the subject. During flash photography, this data is very useful in calculating how much flash output is appropriate to the scene. Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter. 2012 Sony Electronics All rights reserved.

    Not only does it suck for focusing (constantly switching between my face and the background) but mine has black lines that run up it and are so distracting. Definitely think its garbage.

    Bad quality picture. Not that great. Invest in a good sigma 16mm if you want real results.

    I bought this lens after watching a think media review over it! Great lens. This works super good for my youtube videos. It's wide angle so i can get the camera super close to product with it looking great. This lens works great for a desk setup pr a top down view! Auto focus works great! Image stabilization and picture quality is perfect! Just buy it already, stop hesitating. I bought mine used and works great!

    Decent lens for the price. Together with the ultra-wide and fisheye converters, this a great deal but image quality is average at best. Videographers can get away with the quality although there's no hybrid AF (contrast+phase detection) support so AF is a little slow (at least it's smooth).

    5.0 out of 5 stars New all time favorite for my NEX
    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    The positive reviews of this lens are accurate. I bought a used one through 鶹 and couldn't be happier with the service I received from the reseller or with the performance of this product. It significantly reduces the form factor of the NEX-3/5 making it the perfect lens to have on the camera when you want to travel light and don't need a zoom. It performs well in low light situation for its glass configuration and performed perfectly shooting video the night of the 4th. I've found it's perfect for shooting where flash photography is not permitted. It won't be replacing any of my Canon or Nikon DSLR lenses but it is a great lens for the application it was designed for.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Option For Hiking Backpacking and Travel
    Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    This Sony 16mm is a nice lens if you accept it for what it is. When I want to shoot wide, I almost always go with my Sony 10-18mm. The 10-18mm is a near flawless piece of glass when paired with my Sony a6000. The problem is that is a big and heavy lens, which makes it difficult to carry around while on longer hikes. I picked up the Sony 16mm pancake for taking photos while hiking. To start, the size is perfect. I can fit this lens in the side pocket of my running vest, and its much lighter than the 10-18mm. The 16mm on the cropped APS-C sensor is equivalent to 24mm on a full frame. This allows me to capture the wide landscapes I see while hiking. There is also a wide angle attachment that can be paired with the 16mm to get even wider.

    As others have noted, the 16mm can be a big soft at the corners at 2.8-5.6, but looks better as. Once you've stopped down to 5.6, things look a bit sharper. For hiking, I'm almost always in the 5.6-15 range, so the soft corners don't bother me. There is no stabilization in this lens, but it's a wide angle, so not that big of a deal. The one issue I have is that the autofocus isn't as accurate as when I'm using the 10-18mm.

    At <$250, this lens is a great value. Some of the other reviewers are complaining about this lens as if it cost $1000. Be realistic about you're going to get at this price point. In my opinion, the value per dollar is quite high. If you want a lens that is super sharp, you're going to have to pay a bit more.
